Climate-induced disasters are predicted to increase both the demand for healthcare services while also posing a threat to the integrity of healthcare systems' infrastructures and supply chains. Many healthcare organizations have taken initiatives to prepare for such disasters through implementing carbon emission-reduction practices and infrastructure reinforcement, through globally recognized frameworks and strategies known as Scopes 1, 2, and 3, and decarbonization. We explored the efforts of these early adopters to understand how they are thinking about and addressing climate change's impacts on healthcare. Through a process of reviewing the peer-reviewed literature, publicly available published documents, annual sustainability reports, conference presentations, and participation in a national decarbonization collaborative, we (1) provide a diverse set of examples showcasing the variety of ways healthcare systems are responding; (2) identify a set of emergent key themes to implementing decarbonization practices, such as the role of an organizational culture of iterative improvement and building systems of cross-organizational collaboration; and (3) synthesize the identifiable set of driving factors for long-term sustainability of these decarbonization efforts.</p>","PeriodicalId":38487,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Regional Science","volume":"41 1","pages":"qxad006"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11103727/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91016735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following global movements, the Japanese national government has implemented cluster initiatives since the 2000s. However, several studies that dealt with failures of cluster development activities have been reported and a lack of leadership or mismatching between the targets and regional, social and technological resources as factors. Responding to rapid growth in the global market many regions including the national ministries started industrial cluster development targeting aerospace parts manufacturing in anticipation of the high-tech Aerospace Industry’s high value-added, high growth potential, and large spillover effects on other industries both economically and technologically. However, in the real environment, the business condition is not easy at all and is far different from these expectations, especially for the new small- and medium-sized entrants to the market. Quality management is strictly and highly required, absolute market size is far smaller than the automobile industries, cost-cut pressure from the Original Equipment Manufacturers is too strong, etc. As of today at the beginning of the 2020s, the author cannot find successful aerospace industrial clusters with very few exceptions in Japan. Therefore, some important questions must also be asked. Were these difficulties and uncertainties discussed among all stakeholders in each region? Did they agree to the policy proposals to be implemented in the region and understand the negative side effects well enough? Was a stiff consensus formed to allocate limited regional resources to a particular industrial category?","PeriodicalId":38487,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Regional Science","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135702249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reasons for this include relocating from a hometown to the Tokyo area with getting employment or entering into university. Therefore, it is considered that each municipality is required to understand the factors for local settlement and to promote local settlement through the U-turn or J-turn. Customer satisfaction (CS) analysis is among the methods for searching improvement factors using CS space which has an axis of satisfaction degree of each evaluation item and axis of importance which are simple correlation coefficients between a comprehensive evaluation and each evaluation item. But above-mentioned general CS analysis is problematic in which each importance of each evaluation item cannot be deemed a unique improvement effect. Based on these backgrounds, we newly propose three-dimension CS space which enable CS analysis considering both the simple improvement effect and unique improvement effect of each evaluation item. We also explore the improvement factors for the local settlement intention of natives of a local city in Japan focusing on the experience of relocating at entrance into university and a hometown area applying CS analysis based on the three-dimension CS space.","PeriodicalId":38487,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Regional Science","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135702048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
